The Whole Person Approach
At Here's to Life, we believe that lasting change begins when people are supported as whole individuals—not just as patients or program participants. The Whole Person Approach is a holistic framework that guides our prevention and support services. It recognizes that individuals are complex, with interconnected needs across physical health, mental well-being, emotional resilience, social connection, and purpose.
Instead of addressing challenges in isolation, we provide wraparound care that reflects the full reality of our clients’ lives. This approach is especially powerful in serving African American MSM communities, where systemic barriers often require more than a single intervention to create long-term impact.
What Does That Include?
Holistic Care
HTL supports every area of a person's life—health, emotions, purpose, relationships, housing, and environment—not just one issue at a time.
Empowerment-Focused
We encourage clients to take an active role in their healing, growth, and decision-making. At HTL, individuals are seen as partners in the process, not just recipients of care.
Culturally Responsive Services
Our team is trained to understand the cultural and social realities that shape our clients' experiences. This ensures services are not only relevant, but respectful and effective.
Integrated Support
Whether it’s connecting someone to HIV care, mental health services, substance use treatment, or housing support, we work across systems to provide seamless, coordinated care.
Here’s to Life (HTL), Inc. is a nonprofit, community-based agency that provides quality education and counseling to individuals in Atlanta, GA, who are at risk for substance use disorders.
